Friedrich FR97MV1005A21DHSGAP Gas Furnace 97% 100K Btu

Product Description

The FRIEDRICH FR97MV1005A21DHSGAP is a high-efficiency natural gas furnace rated at 97 percent AFUE with a 100,000 BTU/h heating capacity. It features an ECM variable-speed motor that modulates airflow to match heating demand, reducing energy consumption and improving comfort in zoned systems. The cabinet is 21 inches wide and is designed for downflow and horizontal installation configurations. This unit is intended for residential or light-commercial forced-air heating systems and is typically installed by licensed HVAC technicians.

This furnace is suited for applications requiring a high-efficiency, multi-position gas furnace in tight or unconventional installations. The downflow and horizontal configurations make it practical for installations in crawl spaces, utility closets, or platforms where upflow is not feasible. With a 5-ton nominal capacity, it is sized for larger residential or small commercial air handler systems. The ECM variable-speed blower pairs well with communicating thermostats and zoning controls for precise temperature management.

Key Features

• 97 percent AFUE efficiency rating for reduced fuel consumption
• 100,000 BTU/h heating output suitable for larger conditioned spaces
• ECM variable-speed motor for quiet, efficient, modulating airflow
• Downflow and horizontal installation configurations for flexible placement
• 21-inch cabinet width for compatibility with standard duct openings
• 5-ton nominal capacity matches common large-residential and light-commercial coil sizes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style high-efficiency gas furnace for downflow and horizontal forced-air heating systems with a 5-ton nominal airflow requirement and a 21-inch cabinet footprint.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54) and all applicable local codes. Shut off the gas supply and disconnect electrical power before servicing or connecting the unit. The ECM blower and any communicating controls should be wired per the manufacturer wiring diagram supplied with the unit. Verify that the venting system meets the manufacturer specifications for a 97 percent condensing furnace, including proper condensate drainage.
